News Highlights

Manitobans came together Sunday for a gigantic celebration to honour Olympic gold medallist Jon Montgomery.

About 7,000 people from neighbouring communities gathered in Russell for a parade to honour the hometown boy, who won gold in men’s skeleton at the Vancouver Olympics on February 19. Dignitaries, politicians, fans and supporters of the athlete all gathered in the town’s hall as Montgomery made his way on stage shortly after having his winning performance played again for the crowd on giant screens.

Gold-coloured shirts sporting the slogan “Montgomery Gold: Mission Accomplished” were the official wardrobe of the day, with a number of the T-shirts becoming collector’s items after Montgomery signed dozens of them for fans.

Speaking with reporters late afternoon, Montgomery said he’ll be back in Winnipeg on Monday to fly out to Quebec, before heading on to St. John’s, NL next month to be a presenter at the 2010 Juno Awards.

Our partners at iTVBrandon.com streamed the festivities live and did a fantastic job to bring the experience to those who couldn’t be there.

After a whirlwind experience at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games — including a gold medal win in men’s skeleton — Manitoba boy Jon Montgomery is returning home.

The 31-year-old athlete/car salesman/auctioneer will be the guest of honour at a community celebration in his hometown of Russell, Manitoba on Sunday, March 14 beginning at 1:30 p.m. A parade and barbeque has been planned, and numerous dignitaries are also expected to attend. Speaking of the barbeque … organizers say 25 buffet stations will be available! Mmmm.

Winnipeg fans will get a chance to meet the gold medallist on Friday afternoon when he lands at James Richardson International Airport. Montgomery will be arriving at approximately 2:45 p.m. on Air Canada Flight 263 at Gate A.

A radio station in Buffalo, New York refused to play Canadian music Monday in response to Team Canada’s gold medal hockey win over the U.S. Sunday.

103.3 The Edge announced its plans on their website prior to canning Canadian content. American listeners joined in on the fun, by encouraging the station to continue to ban northern music permanently until the next Olympics.

“We hope you understand our passive-aggressiveness,” read part of the message on The Edge’s site.

The station said it’s nothing personal, but they needed to do something to make them feel superior to us, even if it was just for a day.
